LatTab 2.0 - Latin proverbs and root words
v2.4.2 Updated Mar 10, 2026 5.1MiB
✅Recently updated
Description
LatTab replaces your new tab page with a bite-sized Latin lesson. Every time you open a new tab, you see a Latin proverb or Latin root word complete with its meaning, origin, and real English words derived from it. It is a low-effort, high-reward way to build your Latin vocabulary over time.
MODES
Proverbs - classic Latin phrases from Roman literature, law, and philosophy, each with an English translation.
Roots - Latin root words with their meaning, origin language, and English words that derive from them (e.g. "contra/o" means "against, opposite" giving us contradict, controversy, contravene).
Random - alternates between proverbs and roots on each new tab.
Quiz - test yourself with Latin-to-English and English-to-Latin prompts. Items you have seen less often appear more frequently, so you naturally review unfamiliar material first. Answers are fuzzy-matched so minor punctuation differences do not count against you.
FEATURES
- 228 Latin proverbs from Roman literature, law, science, and everyday speech
- Over 200 Latin root words covering roots from A to X
- Search by Latin text or English meaning with wildcard support
- Favorite any entry to mark it for personal reference
- View counts show how many times you have seen each item
- Optional display of English word examples for each root
- Stats page showing how many proverbs and roots you have seen
- All preferences sync via Chrome storage across your devices
CONTENT
The proverb collection draws from classical Latin authors, Roman law, medieval scholarship, and common Latin phrases that appear in modern English, science, law, and medicine. The root word collection covers the most common Latin roots found in the English language, each with meaning, origin, and several example English derivatives.
